Redefining alcohol-free beverages: Alcohol-free adult drinks don't have to imitate alcoholic drinks to be enjoyable and sophisticated. Alcohol-free options that don't imitate alcohol are also important for people in recovery, as they provide a real and tasty alternative without triggering cravings.

Experimenting with alcohol-free periods: Testing an alcohol-free period can reveal dependence issues, as it did for Jason, who realised he couldn't stop. Don't ignore signs that suggest a potential problem.

The importance of support during recovery: Jason credited the support from his family and loved ones as a crucial aspect of his recovery, particularly in maintaining accountability during his relapse.

How to support a loved one: It can be useful for support persons to research addiction and understand their loved ones experience. Creating a safe space, as Andy did by removing alcohol from the home, can also be helpful. 

Understanding relapse as a support person: It's important to practice cautious optimism when supporting a loved one through addiction as the chances of relapse are high, and relapse is often apart of an individuals long-term recovery journey.

How rituals can help change our drinking habits: Rituals play a significant role in our relationship with alcohol, and incorporating these into our consumption of non-alcoholic alternatives can help with changing our drinking habits.
